Importing a vehicle requires several documents: the Import Certificate of Goods, the Inspection Sheet for Imported Motor Vehicles, the Vehicle Conformity Certificate, and the vehicle purchase invoice. First, the Import Certificate of Goods, also known as the dock receipt, is issued by customs. It serves as a crucial 'identity card' for parallel-imported vehicles and is an essential document for customs clearance. Without this certificate, parallel-imported vehicles cannot be registered. The content of the import certificate can identify the specific vehicle model, and the production location refers to the final manufacturing site, not the place of origin. It is important to keep this document safe, as reissuing it can be very troublesome if lost. The Inspection Sheet for Imported Motor Vehicles (commodity inspection) is another necessary document for registering parallel-imported vehicles. Without this inspection sheet, registration is impossible. Vehicle Conformity Certificate: Discrepancies in the names of the documents can make registration difficult. Manufacturers provide a Vehicle Conformity Certificate, stamped by the company and signed by the responsible personnel, when the vehicle leaves the factory. Therefore, it is essential to request this certificate when purchasing the vehicle. Purchase Invoice: The invoice is required for paying the purchase tax during registration. It should be carefully preserved and not folded or damaged.

Do electric mopeds require a driver's license?

Electric vehicles also have categories, which can be roughly divided into electric bicycles and electric motorcycles. A moped with pedals and a maximum speed not exceeding 40 km/h is classified as a light motorcycle. This category does not require a driver's license, just like a bicycle. On the other hand, electric motorcycles without pedals and with a maximum speed exceeding 40 km/h require a driver's license and are subject to relevant national fees. Currently, many cities still do not strictly enforce certification requirements for electric motorcycles, but cities like Shenzhen have already issued relevant regulations. The choice of vehicle depends on individual needs. Only electric vehicles that meet these standards require a driver's license. Many people choose not to opt for electric bicycles and instead spend time obtaining a motorcycle license because, after obtaining the license, they are qualified to ride electric vehicles with speeds exceeding 25 km/h, which helps improve commuting efficiency. If the speed is below 25 km/h, then no driver's license is required. According to the new national standards, if it is classified as an electric bicycle, it must be equipped with pedals to enable riding functionality. If it lacks riding functionality, it is classified as an electric power-assisted bicycle or electric motorcycle. Both types of electric bicycles require a driver's license to operate. According to the provisions of the Road Traffic Law, motor vehicles must be certified, registered, and insured before they can be driven on the road. Therefore, if an electric vehicle is registered as a motor vehicle, the owner needs to obtain a driver's license before driving it on the road.

Is it still necessary to service at a 4S shop after the car warranty expires?

After the car warranty expires, it is not recommended to go to a 4S shop for maintenance. The following is the relevant content: Introduction to specific reasons: After the car warranty expires, there is no need to go to a 4S shop for maintenance because the charges are too high. However, during the warranty period, it is still recommended to go to a 4S shop for maintenance, as quality issues with cars are quite common. Quality issues are not something you can control, and it is not clear which issues fall under quality problems. During the warranty period, if you go to a 4S shop for maintenance, any repairs caused by quality issues will be free of charge. Introduction to 4S shops: A 4S shop, fully known as an automobile sales service 4S shop, is a type of automobile sales enterprise that integrates four functions: vehicle sales, spare parts, after-sales service, and information feedback. Automobile 4S franchise stores are invested and built by dealers according to the standards set by automobile manufacturers. The stores have uniform designs inside and outside, with huge investments often exceeding tens of millions, featuring luxury, grandeur, and a comfortable environment. They can only sell a single brand of cars specially authorized by the manufacturer, providing customers with lower prices, more professional technical support, and more in-depth after-sales services. 4S shops and automobile manufacturers together form a car brand alliance, representing the brand culture, reflecting brand value, maintaining brand loyalty, and establishing the brand's reputation and credibility for the automobile manufacturer. Typically, a brand's 4S shops are distributed in a region with only one or a few equally spaced franchise stores, and cross-regional sales are not allowed between the franchise stores.

What is the function of the vehicle stability system?

The role of the vehicle stability control system is to improve the vehicle's handling safety factor and driving convenience. Below are specific introductions about the functions of the vehicle stability control system: 1. Emergency handling: In sudden situations such as emergency turns, emergency acceleration, and emergency braking, the vehicle can quickly sense and take corresponding braking measures, such as controlling each tire individually while reducing the engine's output to maintain the vehicle's stability. 2. Stabilizing the vehicle: Through signals uploaded by sensors on the wheels and the vehicle body, it determines whether the vehicle is skidding when turning. If skidding is detected, the control unit applies slight braking to the wheels that need it to help stabilize the vehicle's driving condition.

What are the consequences of not addressing oil leakage from spark plugs?

The consequence of not addressing oil leakage from spark plugs is poor ignition, leading to abnormal engine operation. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the engine's plastic cover, remove the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for external debris like leaves or dust and ensure thorough cleaning. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order and secure the cover. Methods to determine if a spark plug is damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its appearance to assess its condition. A normal spark plug's insulator skirt and electrodes should appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug has a reddish-brown insulator skirt, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plug is contaminated with oil or deposits but not damaged, it can be cleaned and reused. If the spark plug is severely damaged—showing signs like blistering, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes—identify the cause of the damage, rectify the issue, and replace the spark plug. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates the wrong heat range was selected or the air-fuel mixture is too rich, with oil creeping up.
